Default Emergency Go Bag. What Receiver?

Cato wrote:
O.K., so you're setting up emegency evacuation packs for your
family, and space and weight are serious considerations, what with
food, clothing tent sleeping bags etc. If you thought that you might
have to abandon your vehicle and use bikes or go on foot, what radio
would you consider? If you were to pack a A.M./F.M./ Shortwave
receiver, which one would it be, and why? Would you pack a wind-up
antenna, or a small active loop?
Would it be a wind-up, multiple power source radio? Or would you
pack a small digital radio with extra batteries, or rechargeables with
a seperate solar charger? What would your decision be, and your
arguments in defense of your decision?


I think I'd just carry tools, and fix radios along the way,
although I'd sure be tempted to carry a 2-way radio...
